Woman gets blocked by DJ Zinhle 

South African musician and businesswoman, DJ Zinhle, made a name for herself outside of music. She founded her accessories brand Era over a decade ago, and it’s grown from just being a jewellery-focused brand.

The musician was previously bashed for branding Shein bags and selling them as her own. Mzansi has since moved on from that incident and continued to support her.

On Friday, a small business owner, Nikita, from Johannesburg, visited a Chinese shop that had a massive stock of Era gift bags. She was stunned by what she saw and posted her findings on TikTok.

She posted five videos about the incident and garnered over a million views. Nikita realised that the musician had blocked her on TikTok and said:

“I can't find DJ Zinhle's TikTok account anymore after this post, and I wasn’t even selling these. I didn't even share the location where I came across these bags, yho.”

South Africans were very suspicious of the brand. The gift bags from the Chinese store were identical to DJ Zinhle’s and retailed for R5, just like on Era’s website.

@Thebo T said:

“DJ Zinhle saw them last month. She can't sue them, they are a Chinese brand.”

@Anathi Zozo wondered:

“Guys, what if she stocks from that shop?”

@❣️remembered:

“She once bought handbags from Shein and branded them Era, so I guess after all, business is business.”

@princess Thembisil Mahlangu commented:

“Now I see why everyone is wearing Era.”

@Melo 🎀 shared:

“I have the original, and the packaging is exactly like this.”

@🫧❣️Nothando_Thobeka❣️🫧said:

“People don't know that Era is Shein stock, and she rebranded it.”

@maThabizolo shared:

“I was once at China Mall and I saw her van there, so I think maybe she's working with them.”

“DJ Zinhle won't sue cos Era is from China.”

@ANGEL _said:

“Yeah, I sell, but local? You will never see me touch any local brand.”
